This delicious cake is layers of chocolate goodness. The outside of the cake is covered in luscious creamy chocolate mousse while the inside consists of light chocolate cake layers and the same chocolate mousse. It’s like a match made in heaven!!

The recipe is also quick and easy! It’s fool proof! And with Valentine’s Day so close there’s not better excuse than to make this cake for your special loved one.

As we all know lemons are in season and instead of making the traditional lemon meringue I decided to think outside the box and make some lemon cookies.

I didn’t want just any lemon cookies though. I wanted something gooey, sweet and delicious- a cookie that would tastes like a lemon slice almost.

The recipe that I am sharing with you below is exactly that! A cookie that tastes like a lemon slice! It takes roughly the same amount of time to make as a lemon slice but they’re super easy to make! And an easier alternative to take to school/ work and also to those who don’t like coconut- which is traditionally found in lemon slices.

Enjoy baking!

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups Plain Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 packet (225g) Cream Cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, room temperature

1 1/2 cups Caster Sugar

2 tbs grated Lemon Zest (approx 2 large lemons)

1 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed Lemon Juice

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/8 tsp yellow food colouring- gel based (I used Americolour) this is optional

Trying out a new recipe following on from the Mini Matcha Cheesecakes I created earlier this year.

I love making Mini Cakes- not just because they look great- but because when it comes to eating them you’ve got your own little bite sized portion which is easier to eat, hold and in general a lot cleaner than cutting off a slice of cake.

– And when I say they look great I mean it. Look at my amazing cakes (not to self gloat) but they look great. Couldn’t be happier on how they turned out

If your sweet tooth is anything like mine you’ll love this recipe! It’s two of my favourite desserts in one.

The recipe not only tastes great but it’s cheap, quick and easy to make. Just follow my step by step instructions and before you know it you’ll have a delicious dessert to enjoy after dinner (or a sneaky snack during the day)

Happy Baking!!

Ingredients:

Cheesecake Mixture:

1 packet Cream Cheese (room temperature)

1/4 cup white sugar

1 Egg

1 cup White Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Brownie Mixture:

1/4 cup Butter

1 cup Cooking Chocolate or Chocolate Chips

1/2 cup white Sugar

2 Eggs

2/3 Plain Flour

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat Oven 170c Fan Forced

Line a baking pan with baking paper- I used a 12 x 7 inch. 9 x 9 inch will also work

Set up a Bain Marie on your stove top. Do this by filling a saucepan with water and setting a heatproof mixing bowl over the water- making sure the water doesn’t come into contact with the bowl. The water should be simmering.

In the heatproof bowl combine the butter and the chocolate until well combined

Turn off the gas/ heat to the bain marie

Add 1/2 cup sugar and 2 eggs, stir to combine

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt.

Add this to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.

Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan.

Pour all of the cheesecake mixture on top of the chocolate mixture and spread to the edges

Pour the remaining chocolate mixture onto the pan and spread. Swirl the mixture to give it a marble affect.

Bake Cheesecake Brownies for 25 to 30 minutes. They’re cooked when the top is crinkled
